This past month we have seen a Child Development specialist (I never knew such an occupation existed up until now). Shirley is great and is very encouraging. I learned how to do Baby Massage, and Lennox enjoys the benefits following his bath. We also saw a physiotherapist who gave some ideas for optimal positioning to help him control his extremities easier. Our little man has cooperated every time:)
Lennox has been the perfect baby. He squaks instead of crying and those squaks are rare. Even though he's so quiet, he still lets us know he's there:). His immunizations were this morning and he has been a good boy all day. He now weighs 8lbs 7oz and we are doing well with Breastfeeding. Thank goodness!
He is such a content munchkin and seems to be starting to smile intentionally, Not all the time, but when he does, he smiles with his whole face! His beautiful eyes turn into crescent moons and it melts our hearts every time!
He coos and makes little sighing sounds when he's laying still and looking around. And he is becoming more active by swinging his arms and hitting his toys. Whether he means to or not, it is still fun to watch him learn.
His neck is getting stronger day by day and he seems to get upset if he can't hold his head up as long as he'd like to. Daddy does leg exercises with him and he pushes on Paxton's hands with ease. He has a lot of strength, especially in his arms and manages to pull himself up while holding our fingers. His little head often lags when he does it and he gets upset, but his strength and tone is most impressive:)
Of all these wonderful moments that have passed, my favorite has to be that he KNOWS me. He senses when I'm not around and seems fussy until I return. He settles with the mere sound of my voice. My boy loves me and I love my boy! I am his mommy and he knows it...What a feeling:)
